  |  T-shirt Design...Hello, I want to design a t-shirt for my daughter for her 1st Birthday... I have found a website which does them but they don't do the font i want so i need to create it myself in a paint program but don't know which one to use or how to create at the t-shirt so the lettering comes out the right size. Any suggestions would be great...  Tipppy

 | dafont.com have a huge selection of fonts, can't you get the t-shirt sizes from the site? Draw a rough t-shirt template and work inside that. EDIT: What is the site? I will se if i can find for you.

| It shouldnt matter what size you do the image but the bigger the better, the site should resize it when you place it on the shirt template. If you create the image big then it can always be scaled down without loosing any quality EDIT: Just noticed that the max image size you can use is 4000 x 4000 so work around that size?

| By looking at it, you can upload a photo, make a design in paint and resize appropriately, start off big and then you can scale down without losing resolution. Use common sense, make it taller than wider, otherwise the design won't fit the whole t-shirt, unless that's what you are after.

| In paint program? I hope that you didn't meant on that Windows Paint program T-shirt design is usually done in vector format (Illustrator) and it can be done in raster (Photoshop) but then put as high resolution as possible (e.g. 3000x4000px), since it is just font then it could be a little lower. They don't do font as you want because they don't have it in their computer. So the solution is to "outline" your font in Illustrator or use "Objects to path" in InkScape. This converts your font in vector objects that can be edited additionally if you want and since it's not longer font but object it can't be seen on any other computer. If you don't have illustrator then I highly recommend you InkScape not only because it's free but it is very very good, powerful and easy to use alternative.
